In the quest to build out Zoukei-Mura Horten Ho 229 we have
already set of with the engines and in keeping with ticking to the instructions
– well we kind of did – today we look at the birdcage – the frame and wings of
this bat-like creature of the skies.

We sense a massive British paratrooper diorama in the offing – with Bronco
models already making new models of 6 pounders, jeeps, several parras and
weapons and a Horsa glider on the way we see the need for some stowage and
weapon paraphernalia and guess what? Bronco are now offering that as well – we thought
we would build it all up for you in our review.

Building what looks like such a complex kit in a short period of time to meet
high standards is no mean feat whatever you are making – but looking at the
almost complete facsimile of an aircraft that we have in Zoukei-Mura’s new Ho
229 kit in 32nd scale and thinking it’s going to be a walk in the park is optimistic at best
– but hey we might have fun getting there! Let’s start building it with the
engines in today’s build section.

Takom are fast turning into a bit of a company to watch.
Detailed but easy to make kits with a choice in subjects that is very smart
this company has our attention. Their new T3 Transporter and Tadpole kits are
being released this month and we had some info for you

Sunday, October 26

Today we start off in a several part build of the new 1/32nd
Horten Ho 229 kit from Zoukei-Mura. Released for sale today this kit and a few
extra parts have been the focus of quite a few modellers in love with the
bat-wing shape. We will look at what is in the box today, then build it over
the next week to show you just how to get the best out of this new kit.

Although they have been low key recently Masterbox still continue to churn out new kits that will keep
modellers at their desks through a long cold northern winter (or summer if you
are on the other end) - three new kits for November release…

After a competition to pic the cover picture (I picked the
other one alas) they guys at Panzer aces bring you a “special” based on
vehicles that have been scratchbuilt. An art in itself scratch building is for
the best modellers amongst us or those with a lot of spare time and it is
always interesting to see what they come up with in comparison to the best new
kits out there. Let’s have a look at what they have made in this – issue 47…

some soldiers in need of a savior – all in today’s preview..

bring your collection of Chamonds to two – this is the later version with the
revised upper hull section devised to work against grenades on the roof – let’s
have a look at the kit and what’s different with this release.

MENG releasing the 1/35
Russian 9K72 Scud-B Mobile Tactical Missile System seemed like a bit of a pipedream
a little while ago – but in the last month It has indeed been announced as well as the Scud C from Trumpeter so it seems the fight for tactical supremacy is now on! We have some great new pictures of the kit in near
lifelike CAD that almost smells like plastic pointing out all the features of
this anticipated kit.

Italeri has revealed
the reason they were making MTB crews – also a large Stratotanker a Harvard
from many nations and a British duck – we have some images of the kits as
sprues and some built up for you in today’s preview…

Not many model makers get a chance to become properly connected with the people
that flew the aircraft originally. Didier Thomas made the HK Models Meteor MKIV
recently in 2nd scale and he has had some contact with the original
pilot of his Meteor – Luckilly for us cameras were on hand to experience the
meeting in an interesting story…

Rich pickings and a lot of material to choose from – the German armour on
the battlefields of Normandy are of course right up there on WWII enthusiasts
and modellers list of wants. This is why
Panzerwrecks sees it fit to put out another book on this part of the war –
let’s see if they are pushing it to thin or just scratching the surface.

Fresh back from Pegaso’s stand at the Euro Millitaire in
Folkestone this figure company hasn’t rested since – three new 24th
scale (75mm) figures have been released this month – we thought we would give

Verlinden thinks
it is time to see what you might have been missing out on – October’s latest
features a few things you may or not be familiar with already - but all of them are newly cast
and in stock after not being available for a long time. Let’s have a look…

Although
it didn’t see active war duty with the German armed forces the Leopard 1 MBT still had a great deal
to do protecting the frontier in the height of the cold war and beyond. MENG
has added this variant to their list of Leopards to fill the void for those big
cat completists out there…

Just
recently we have seen a few WWI tanks in 35th scale enter the market
– a few of them even built up intrepid people called modellers! What we have
not seen so far is quite enough mud and dust to go along with a vehicle who’s
main job was to fjord muddy trenches and shell holes – Clayton gets dirty with
his Takom MKIV male in 35th scale in pt.II of this build.

When an older kit is rereleased it is a good chance to look
back nostalgically on your childhood and the fact that you might have already
bought this kit when you were a kid? We have the new Buccaneer S Mk.2B kit in 72nd scale from Revell and it
gives us a chance to look back on our past in today’s review.

Monday, October 13

Most of us modellers and armchair experten will know of the high scoring ace Gerhard Barkhorn – though many non-modellers may have the familiarity of this multiple ace of many fronts of WWII. Luftfahrtverlag-Start and Bernd Barbasare set to remedy that with their latest book which follows his life and tries to shed some light on this somewhat overshadowed ace of WWII

The newest scout recon vehicle for the Dutch and German
armies is the very cool looking “Fennek”

have made a special edition on modelling this new vehicle so you can get the
best out of it – let’s have a look…

Gary Wickham's own version of the revised Great Wall Hobbies F-15B/D Eagle is all but finished in Today's Part III of his truly inspiring build. The Japanese Aggressor scheme needs a lot of care and masking and today Gary shows you how he got the best from his Japanese Eagle...

recently - and the inclusion of the very
good Tasca /Asuka plastic of the 35th scale M4A1Sherman to the mix of their decals and PE should be a good
mix – let’s have a look..

Barracuda Studios makes
some of the best resin improvement and correction kits around. When we were
sent a few of their sets to match the 1/32nd scale Revell Bf-109G-6 kit we were most excited to
see how they fit – and we thought we would compare them to the kit and the
original aircraft to show you what we found in today’s construction review.
